We happened upon Ron’s museum entirely by chance while strolling around Scicly (May 2023). He was such a great host. Although he didn’t speak English, and my Italian is horrible, he was so good at showing us all the cool things in his little displays that we understood everything. We gladly purchased a top and some soap when we were done. Oddly enough, it’ll be one of the most memorable experiences from our two weeks in Sicily!

The museum is unique and gives an authentic insight into the reality of life of the people in Scicli until a few decades ago. We spontaneously decided to visit due to a heavy rain shower and did not regret it - it was THE attraction of our trip to Sicily. Carmelo is a lovely man who tells the story of his family with great joy and enthusiasm. It is even possible to buy handmade souvenirs from his son or himself - without the sale being advertised. We had actively asked whether a certain item was for sale. Best wishes to Carmelo from "coppia tedesca" (30.09.23)

Having passed the cave by chance, curiosity pushed us to enter. We came across the volcanic Mr. Carmelo, who with great detail and great participation showed us the cave and described many objects from the Sicilian past. A pleasant journey to discover our roots and traditions. Greetings from the couple from Catania to Mr. Carmelo.

Don Carmelo takes you by the hand into the past, with sympathy and serenity and with his language rich in dialect expressions. In addition to being a fine craftsman he is also a person of culture and well documented on the history and traditions of Scicli. You can ask him all the questions you want and you will find a Response to your curiosity. Magnificent nativity scene, if you go in winter do not miss a visit. Friends of Rome

We met the descendant of Don Carmelo, a lovely and very kind person who made us visit the cave in detail, telling us the story. He also showed us the beautiful nativity scene built by him piece by piece, and a multitude of objects made with his own hands. Beautiful experience

Don Carmelo is history, visiting the cave was a unique experience, I strongly recommend going to visit it because it represents in all respects the tradition of late nineteenth and early twentieth century rural homes in Sicily, many childhood memories have resurfaced, with one difference: all set in the wonderful Scicli caves. I thank Carmelo for the hospitality and dedication he transmits so that everyone can smell the scent of times gone by. Greetings from Claudia and Daniele from Catania.

We visited on a wet Saturday morning and we were immediately warmly welcomed by Don Carmelo. He gave us an extremely enthusiastic and interesting tour of everything in the small cave dwelling. His energy was contagious and joyful. Thank you very much, this the highlight of our visit to Scicli.
It was a real shame that the rest of the cave dwelling area of Scicli is currently closed to the public.

Truly enchanting place!!!
Thanks to the knowledge, knowledge and experience exposed by Carmelo Raimondo, we immersed ourselves in the roots of our history, rediscovering aspects of our culture that have now been forgotten. It is impossible to describe the quantity of objects inside the cave: you absolutely must visit it!! Thank you Carmelo, guardian of our traditions!

If you are in Scicli don't miss a visit to Ron Carmelo!
Unique and truly interesting place.
3 caves. The main cave was the home of his grandparents and is furnished as at the time. In the second there is a very beautiful and very detailed nativity scene, made by Carmelo. They are in the third
many tools from times gone by, some unknown to me, of which Don Carmelo explains the use, and many objects and ornaments made by him. The spinning tops that he teaches you to use are special.

A generation work of art that gives a beautiful insight into the reality of life in the past. Carmelo showed us everything with a lot of joy and passion. A visit is definitely worth it. For my daughter (5), this visit was the highlight of our trip to scicli. Cordiali saluti a Cramelo, i tuoi amici svizzeri

Bonjour, la langue de la visite peut elle être en français ? Nos jeunes enfants seront plus intéressés si c'est le cas 😊. Merci pour vos réponses

I don’t think Carmelo speaks French. I think you should find an interpreter!
